Opening windows 13 and 14 are formed on the front of the container body 10. A band-shaped reinforcing portion 15 is formed between the opening window 13 and the opening window 14, and is located substantially at the center of the single CD case. The corners of the opening windows 13 and 14 are rounded so that stress concentration does not occur at the corners. Further, the peripheral edge of the opening window is chamfered 13a obliquely. In the center of a single CD case,
A groove for bending is formed. Further, the container body 10
Is composed of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin,
It has moderate rigidity and elasticity.

An engaging piece 16 hangs from the upper end of the opening 12 of the container body 10. The locking piece 16 is formed so as to partially cover the upper end of the opening 12. Therefore, when the CD case stored in the container body 10 is pushed up by the lock mechanism, the CD case is obstructed by the locking pieces 16 and cannot be taken out.

A lock mechanism 17 is provided at the lower end of the container body 10.
Is provided, and the locking member 18 is formed to protrude inside the container body 10 and to be able to retreat. Lock mechanism 17
Is attached to the lower end of the container body 10 near the opening 12 side, and is composed of a leaf spring 19 and a locking member 18 which is held in a protruding state by the leaf spring 19 toward the inside of the container body. .

The leaf spring 19 sandwiches both ends of the locking member 18. A groove (not shown) is formed inside the lock mechanism main body, and a part of the leaf spring 19 is fitted in this groove. Further, the engaging member 18 is formed with an engaging step, and when pushed in, the leaf spring 19 is engaged with the engaging steps on both sides to maintain the pushed state. The button 18
“a” is provided so as to be able to protrude from the lower end of the lock mechanism 17, and the operator locks this portion by pressing it with a finger.

Since the container body 10 is made of a transparent or translucent member, the jacket and the like of the stored CD case 11 can be visually recognized from the outside. Also, from the opening window 15, a jacket or the like can be directly confirmed,
Displaying at a store does not hinder consumers from checking the contents of the CD. In particular, since the upper end of the container body is formed flat and transparent, even if it is arranged in an upright state, the upper end C
You can see the D title.

Opening 1 formed on the side of container body 10
2 has a substantially rectangular shape. Therefore, when unlocked, the vertically long single-size CD case 11 can be taken out in the side end direction as it is in parallel with the container body 10.
